Sat, 07 Apr 2012 16:25:35 +0000http://lorelle.wordpress.com/?p=4927#comment-951180The concept of archives is deprecated. There really isn’t a reason to “archive” anything. If you wish to remove them from the content, export them to a backup XML file for safe keeping and delete them.

There are WordPress Plugins that will help you move posts between categories. Give them a try.

Sat, 07 Apr 2012 12:37:40 +0000http://lorelle.wordpress.com/?p=4927#comment-951178Hi Lorelle, you recently pointed me to this old post (from an old post of mine!=) ) and I wanted to say thank you, and also ask for a little advice if I may.

One thing I don’t see in the Bulk Edit options is a way to bulk edit the visibility of posts. In relaunching my website I took the drastic step of lumping most of my old posts into an ‘archived’ category and then using the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin to hide them. I’m starting again from a blank slate, but I didn’t want to delete them entirely.

They still show up in the previous/next links at the bottom of posts, howeve, and that was when I realised I could toggle the visibility to hide them entirely. I don’t fancy the prospect of editing them all individually however, although the exercise might be a good idea in case there are any posts I want to make public again..

Do you have any suggestions?
